THREE PHASE STRING

INVERTER 20-30 KW
CSI-20KTL-GI-FL | CSI-25KTL-GI-FL
CSI-30KTL-GI-FL
Canadian Solar‘s grid-tied, transformer-less string inverters
help to accelerate the use of three-phase string architecture for
commercial rooftop and small ground-mount applications. An
NRTL approved, cost-effective alternative to central inverters,
these inverters are modular design building blocks that provide
high yield and enable significant BoS cost savings. They provide
up to 98.8% conversion efficiency, a wide operating range of Standard warranty, extension up to 15 years
200-800 Vdc, and four MPPTs for maximum energy harvest.

KEY FEATURES HIGH RELIABILITY

• Maximum efficiency of 98.6%, Maximum IEC efficiency • Advanced thermal design and convection cooling
of 98.3%
• Built in over-voltage and over-current protection
• 4 MPPTs to achieve higher system efficiency
• DC reverse polarity and AC short circuit protection
• Transformerless design
• High switching frequency and ultra fast MPPT (<5 sec.)
for maximum efficiency over a wide load range
